All Bad Literature Rests Upon Imperfect Insight,

Literature Is At Once The Cause And The Effect Of Social Progress. It Deepens Our Natural Sensibilities, And Strengthens By Exercise Our Intellectual Capacities. It Stores Up The Accumulated Experience Of The Race, Connecting Past And Present Into A Conscious Unity; And With This Store It Feeds Successive Generations, To Be Fed In Turn By Them.

No Man Was Ever Eloquent By Trying To Be Eloquent, But Only By Being So.

Science Is The Systematic Classification Of Experience.

It Is Unhappily True That Much Insincere Literature And Art, Executed Solely With A View To Effect, Does Succeed By Deceiving The Public.

The Public Can Only Be Really Moved By What Is Genuine.
